Hi everyone,
it took me quite the while to bring this up as the last weeks had been busy and well, yeah more busy.
I want to write about a great trip I did earlier this year to teach my first workshop ever in beautiful Switzerland.

Thanks to the help of Josua Lai I was able to teach a really cool Beginner Workshop in Bern with wonderful students! Thank you for your perfect help, hospitality and organisational help, Josua!

Well, let's start this review from the beginning, shall we!

I arrived some days prior to the workshop to spent some good time with my friend Josua in the beautiful city that is Bern.

We meet on Friday and started the workshop with an evening full of theory and basing!

The theory parts contain:

- Learn to see your world with different eyes
- Introduction into basing composition
- Learn how to feel harmony in different aspects
- Important contrasts for figure painting
- Explanation about how to paint a light situation on your figure
- Understand colour theory and learn how to use it properly
- Learn about different materials, their unique properties and learn to paint them
- Learn to lose fear of doing something wrong
- much more!

The word 'beginner' might be confusing to many first time participants of this class.
It is not a class for 'only' beginners. In fact it is a class for every
person, at every age interested in figure painting, whatever their
experience level is.

'Beginners class' means here that Roman aka jarhead gives an
introduction into his way of thinking while painting, in detail a lot of
important theory is explained while doing a walk through Art History
and is used in practical exercises. During the weekend you will not only
learn to improve your painting skills, you will also learn the 'Why?'
behind everything explained and with that you will be able to teach
yourself in your own hobby future by just recognizing what nature has to
offer.

When it comes to basing
I got to thank the supporters of this class who made the class wonderful due
their help in sponsoring some of their products, beside my own crazy
material collection:

If you want to learn from mein your very own private coaching session or if you want to visit a group weekend workshop, do not hesitate to contact me for further details viajarhead---at---massivevoodoo---dot---com

I will
be there for you and your personal growth as a painter!
